OF all campaign trickery ne have ever
seen, this caps the grim climax. Even
the cerements of the moss. grown grave
have been broken, and the bones and
dust Of men long dead who live only
in affectionate and respected memory
ara DRAGGED therefrom, For shame for
shame! But this only shows the extreme
desperation of the opposition. Suppose
some imprudent Journalist should resort
TO such reckless use of the names of
highly respected deceaced persons, what
would be the effect7 Would it not call
down Storm of just indignation and
wrath upon: his head3 How much more
reprehensible, then, when done in oppo.
sition TO good cause. and to further the
intarests of q bad one.
CanGor prompts us to say in reference
tot the ridiculous publication in question
---s.A -. Protest"-that we do not believe
the more conservative aud fair. minded
of the opposition endorse it, or knew of
sits promulpation until after it was done.
we trust that they did not, for their own

turned the scales in favor Of prohibition,
and reversed the majority three fold.
This place was the stronghold and
sheaduuarters of the liquor men. Here
the poisonous drug flowed like river, in

scenes have been witnessed here since
the dark days of Radicalism, as were
observed in our streets during the two
last days of registration. Negroes
aocked about the bar;rooms in dense and
surgiDg masses. Their certificates OF
registration were bought up with whis.
key and held by the purchaser. in order
3 to make assurance doubly sure; and, as
in the days OF Radical corruption End
misrule, these deluded creatures were
marched to the polls as 30 many sheep to
the shamble.
There was another side to the picture.
The negroes were not the only element
in this community, and in other sections.
Of the County, who went to the polls and
voted to perpetuate the bar-room. Men
of high respectability and social position
-and in some instances, in responsible
official position-did the same. Profes.
